Hey guys,
I woke up this morning to see that my larger clown seems to be having some difficulty swimming, she seems to be rising to the top rather quickly..and you can see her tilt very slightly to her side at times. I'm worried she might have a problem with her swim bladder. Ive looked online for info, but didn't find any info that was much help.

My water per. are stable: sg. 1.026, temp. 78, nitrate 0. Both my Midas and other clown are doing great. All three are eating fine as well.

Can anyone help me, what can I do? I do not have a QT set up at this time, if antibiotics are required, can that be used in my display tank? Is this something that is cured, or is she doomed???

PLEASE HELP!!
